These cookies have been deemed non-invasive for the user’s private sphere if the site collects anonymized and analyzed data in aggregate form, for this reason many Guarantors, including the Italian one, have included these cookies4 in the general category of technical cookies.

Settings must be changed separately in each browser and computer used.

If cookies have been blocked, the correct functioning of the website cannot be guaranteed. In fact, some functions may not be available and it may no longer be possible to view some pages.

Blocking third-party cookies

On this site there are third-party cookies as identified in the CookieYes plugin (bottom left of the screen), where the list of third parties who install their own cookies through the Site is provided, together with a reference to the respective privacy policies to which we invite you to refer. We remind you, in fact, that these subjects are independent data controllers of the data collected through the cookies they serve and, therefore, they can be managed and deactivated in the manner indicated in the respective information.

Updates and changes
